Cast Iron Milling Machine table repair.

04-29-2007, 05:22 PM

This is a pretty common break on old milling machine tables. I fitted a chunk of copper bar under the tee slot to save machining later then i stick welded it with some 5/32 Viking Metals machinable cast rod i got cheap off ebay, wrapped it up in some insulation and let it sit a spell. It should clean up nice....Bob

Here is a pic of the whole machine. I just welded it for the owner and he is going to have it reground. Internet welding job . I used cast iron welding rods that are 100% machinable and the color should match pretty good...Bob
